PORTABLE DOG HOUSES

Postby catdogs » Sat Aug 18, 2007 1:43 pm

I do alot of traveling/camping with my hounds. Any ideas on good portable doghouses? I keep the dogs in the dog box while traveling and want to use the the doghouses for chaining them up to at nights. Thought of taking a standard 2x3' plywood doghouse, but making the top half slide down over the bottom half to make them half the size when traveling.

If you use a hing with a pin you can pull the pins and the hole thing will collaps flat. put the pin in and you have a strong corner.

I sleep in a hammock, with a big tarp overhead if the weather's bad. I tie the hammock to 2 trees, chain the hound to one of the trees, and share the area under the tarp with them. Helps protect me from bears and porcupines.

Dont have room

Postby dllhoundcompany » Fri Aug 31, 2007 9:43 am

I dont have room to haul around dogs box so I strap the kennel cage on the truck. I just pick up 2 more panels 6x10 and have 4 6x6 panels. Put them together and you have a place to let the dogs lay around and enjoy themselfs. Been doing it for the last 2 years and with the new cargo trailer I just pick up I have room to put the 6x10 and they you go. Still cheap total cost for each panel was 75 (6x6) and the 6x10 were 25 both from a buddy.

Your could easily build your portable kennel trailer with a dog box at one end and build your panels taller than how this dog trailer panels were done.




This is what I did on my portable.....I didn't want an enclosed back end so I left it open to be able to haul stuff as well. It could have be done on a larger scale but I do not see me needing the extra room (I am sure down the road I'll be kicking myself for not doing it on a larger scale.)

Those are nice Drew !! I was just thinking in a Muilt Fuction route an easy switch over from Road to Home.. and it sells for around $4,000.. Plus I make and sell 2 or 3 sided kennels that bolt to the 4 sided kennel thus you can keep adding on..

P.S. I do have a real "Salary Job" but its just sitting on my butt all day at home unless I have a meeting to go to.. So I need to do extra things to keep my butt going.. Besides Trainnig Pups..
